@aral I really wish UN peacekeeping mandates had a little bit more teeth to them. Peacekeepers are so restrained by crazy ROE - which, usually is a good thing - but if one of the belligerents _deliberately_ takes on the peacekeepers than it should be gloves off. Or like immediate UN membership suspension, total embargo, international travel blockade etc. etc. "Don't want to play by rules the rest of world agrees on? You don't get to play, period."
@tezoatlipoca Instead it looks like UNIFIL will likely leave with its tail between its legs; having been pounded into submission by Israel and the United States alongside concepts like international law, basic humanity, and justice.
